Chapter 35: The Valley of the Hidden Demons
Both Blaze and Sun Zhutou asked me what was going on, how did I know? I can only tell them: "I just feel that someone is watching me, since I went out on the street in the afternoon, but I have searched several times and found nothing abnormal, and I don't feel that I have offended anyone, so I think it is the illusion that I have not rested well!" If Sun Tou'er hadn't found out, I would have been prepared to take it completely seriously. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Sun Zhu said thoughtfully: "I did find out that we were being followed, but according to my judgment, it was not an individual who followed us. ”
I didn't understand what he meant, Xiaoxue and Blaze's faces turned white, and the two of them trembled in unison: "Is it a ghost?" Ah......h
Sun Zhu was embarrassed by the master's embarrassment to be rough with them, so I didn't care about that, went up and cut off their heads respectively, pretending to be angry and said angrily: "Do you have a long brain?" Senior sister, did you forget that we were just followed during the day? Which ghost have you ever seen come out in broad daylight? Sun Zhutou said that if it is not a human, it must be an animal! "Actually, I didn't understand what Sun Yukuai meant before, and I was shocked when I came out of this conclusion, but my thinking immediately became clear. No wonder I couldn't find anyone who was following me, it wasn't a person at all. I asked Sun Zhutou, "Sun Tou'er, what kind of animal do you think it will be?" Do you want to fix it now? so as not to affect our mission. ”
"When I was in the city just now, I didn't know very clearly, but from the moment I entered the city, I noticed that there was a voice following us from afar, the sound of birds flapping their wings, so I guessed that it was a bird, and I don't know what kind of bird it was. But there should be no danger for the time being, the birds that can be used to track are better at concealment and not too powerful, and the Hidden Demon Valley is a well-known place, there are no secrets that can't be known, and it won't affect the task, if it wants to follow, let it follow first, if you want to deal with it, you have to wait for dawn, the dark sky is not good for us. The time for handover is imminent, I think let's go first! Don't let that group of brothers wait. We nodded and followed Sun Yu to start again.
We headed west into a small rift valley in the western mountains, which was so remote that there was not a single inhabitant in the surrounding mountains. At the mouth of the valley, there is a dilapidated stone stele, on which the three big characters of "Tibetan Demon Valley" can be vaguely argued. We waited for a while in front of the stele, and the last patrol came out of the valley, and after handing them over, we went into the valley.
Unlike patrolling in the city, patrolling in the field is not equipped with lighting tools, so the patrol personnel must have good night vision, which is one of the reasons why the three of us were selected to patrol the Hidden Demon Valley. Although there is no lighting, I can still roughly see the whole picture of the Tibetan Demon Valley, which is a small rift valley with a small area, located on an east-west branch of the mountain range west of Yuquan, in the shape of a shuttle, inserted from the north to the hinterland of the branch, surrounded by straight cliffs, only one entrance and exit in the north. The valley was overgrown with dead trees and weeds, and the air was filled with a strong smell of rotting and musty plants. From a distance, there was a tall black shadow standing in the middle, and I don't know what the hell it was.
When we entered the valley, we no longer marched quickly, but swayed slowly. Although Flame Xiaoxue has heard of the Tibetan Demon Valley for a long time, it is limited to rumors and legends, only heard that this place buried an extremely vicious demon beast 10,000 years ago, everyone says that this place is haunted and no one dares to come, affected by rumors, the valley and the surrounding boundaries have unconsciously become a "forbidden land". Maybe it was because of boredom, maybe it was because of the touching scene, Sun Zhongchuan told us the story of the Tibetan Demon Valley and the past of Yuquan City.
Listening to Sun Zhu about to tell the story of the Hidden Demon Valley, we all pricked up our ears and took out a serious look. Sun Zhongchuan said that about 10,000 years ago, Yuquan did not belong to Yong'an State, but was an independent village with only more than 100 households, called Wadi Village. The people in the village are not able to cope with the invasion of animals and plants, and cannot farm, so they can only make a living by fishing and hunting, and life is very hard. Life was already not easy, but suddenly one day it became even more difficult, because two huge cat demons with high intelligence and magic power suddenly appeared in Depression Village. No one knows where they come from, only that they didn't belong here, and the two cat demons seem to like this place and decide to settle here.
The two cat demons began to clear all "obstacles" in their territory, including the humans who had originally lived there. So the shemale war was fiercely launched, but the villagers were not the opponents of the cat demon, and after the battle, they suffered heavy casualties, and the villagers were forced to leave their homes and hide in the mountains and forests. It just so happened that the three young people from the depression village who were practicing outside returned to the village, and the three of them were all top masters, and when they learned that their homes had been destroyed, the three of them were determined to get rid of the two cat demons. They planned to arrange for half a moon to lure the two cat demons to the Hidden Demon Valley, which was still a nameless valley at the time, where they hunted one of the weaker cat demons, and the other cat demon with a larger body and higher magic power fought with them for three days and three nights, they were never able to defeat it, and finally the three had no choice but to lure it again and seal it in the valley. This valley is called the Valley of the Hidden Demon by later generations, taking the double meaning of its burial and sealing.
This demon is too powerful, and the three of them are afraid that one day it will be born again and cause trouble to the world, so they combined the strength of the three of them to add another lock spell to the seal. In order to unlock the lock spell, the blood of three people or their descendants must be combined on a bone jade at the same time, and then placed in the center of the magic circle that seals the cat demon, in order to unlock the lock spell on the seal. Even so, the three of them were still not at ease, afraid that there would be wicked people who would use the blood of their descendants to relieve the curse, so the three of them left the Wadi Village, went to the east and west incognito, and never contacted each other again, and the Wadi Village lived back to the old life, and the descendants thanked them for their kindness and called them the Three Sages, and built the Three Holy Temples to worship incense, this custom has continued to this day.
Until 3,000 years ago, Xiao Gongzi's father, the former King of Yuquan, came here, relieved the villagers of the depression in water and fire, and collected the depression village in Yong'an Kingdom, and the emperor gave the depression village to him as a fief. He led everyone to open up the wasteland and plant, find wood and stone to build homes for everyone, and let his subordinates open classes to teach those who have magic to practice magic to protect their families and defend the country, and the people of the Depression Village prospered, and the people from other parts of the Yong'an Country gradually began to settle here, and the Depression Village became a depression city.
Later, the prince found that there were countless hot springs here, so he opened many hot spring villas, annexes, hotels, and bathhouses to develop the local economy. Later, it was found that most of the people with magic power in the depression village were the magic power of driving away beasts, so he ordered his guards to catch the chicks of various giant birds for them to raise and drive, and pick up the guests who came to the depression city to play, the depression city soon became famous all over the world, and the emperor changed its name to Yuquan City, and gave the name Xiao Gongzi's father as the king of Yuquan, and Yuquan City ushered in prosperity so far.
After listening to this story, we each sighed. Blaze asks who are those three heroes? Sun Zhongchuan said that probably no one knew their identities, and Flame looked regretful. Xiaoxue sighed that Xiao Gongzi's father was amazing, and he was able to turn a small village into one of the top big cities in Yong'an now, and admired his ability to make money so well! And I'm more concerned about the moment, I don't understand why we were sent to patrol if this Hidden Demon Valley is really so important? Even if the Yamen's arrest is not qualified, let alone us! Why is it safer to be guarded by the army?! Or is it also a version of the legend that we came to patrol this place where birds don't poop for other reasons?
I expressed my doubts, but in exchange for Sun Zhukuai's confused face, he stared and thought about it for a long time, the more he thought about it, the more tangled he became, the two eyebrows were about to be twisted together, and finally he shook his head vigorously and said: "How do I know these things, how can I explain how to do it." When the previous prince was alive, the yamen was always in charge of patrolling, and the prince must have his own reason for what he did if he was so powerful, and we on errand only had to listen to the instructions and do things, and it was not our turn to worry about these major matters. When I saw that I could not find an answer from him, I asked no more questions.
The four of them had already reached the middle of the rift while they were talking, and the tall black shadow they had seen from a distance just now finally revealed their true form. It's a huge ...... No! It is the skeleton of a super-large beast, ten meters long and five or six meters high, so you don't have to think that this must be the dead cat demon. Although Sun Zhukuai said about the giant cat demon before, I think it's a cat after all! How big can it be? But when I saw this skeleton that was bigger than an ordinary house, I was so shocked that I couldn't close my mouth. Is this still a? It's a Big Mac! With a long trunk, it can pretend to be a mammoth, and if you cut off two front legs, it can pretend to be a Tyrannosaurus rex! Do you want to be so domineering?
If I'm not mistaken, it seems that the one who died was weaker! How big must the sealed one be? From their expressions at the moment, it was clear that Blaze and Xiaoxue were also here for the first time, and they were stunned to see the scene in front of them, their jaws pulling as long as they wanted. Sun Zhongchuan saw all of us, who had never seen the world, and he was very considerate enough to let us rest here, and Blaze and Xiaoxue ran towards the wreckage as if they had been granted amnesty, looking around the skeleton; I found a place to chair back, took out the small stove from the backpack and held it in the palm of my hand to keep warm, I don't know what fuel is put in this ball, I haven't left it out and it's always hot, I didn't find that the ball has seams for a long time, it should be one and can't be opened, and finally I have to give up and don't care about it. The snow and flames are jumping up and down and playing, and the picture looks very harmonious, and I like the feeling of peace and security it gives me.
